    This river tour was very informative with respect to Jamaican history and the vegetation in the area. A nice hike to get the heart rate up. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The cave portion of the tour was the highlight of the hike. Once inside it felt like you were in another realm (especially if you’ve never been in a cave before). I would recommend this tour for anyone wanting to get away for a day trip. The food for lunch was also tasty.

    Takes you back to the 'roots' of Jamaican plants and animals; indigenous, endangered and otherwise. A botanist's and zoologist's haven.

    Had a great time , it's off the beaten path but once you arrive it's a great place. Liked the tour, the river was cool and refreshing. The food was the highlight of the day. Great pork and the best bammy . A must Go!

    This was such an amazing adventure. Only a couple hours outside of Kingston with so much history. The nature and landscape will take your breath away and the bammy will give you life. A great experience!

    The couple running the establishment are warm and friendly, which added to the overall experience. On arrival, we were met with a cup of vegetables soup, served in an enamel cup (enamel was found in every household in Jamaica, once upon a time). We went on a 20 mins hike to the cave, trekking along Rocky, slippery terrain. Before entering the cave, we got a brief history lesson. The guides were patient n well informed. They were also very accommodating. My group received great service, which only served to make the overall experience an awesome one. At the end of the day, Mrs Gordon called to ask if we made it home safely, this gesture warmed my heart. (Good people still deh a road 😁) FYI - their potato pudding is heavenly 😍😍

    This is the rustic authentic Jamaican country side experience. Country styled cooking with the traditional enamel plates and cups. Naturally flowing rivers deliver a refreshing experience with alot of historic site and nature hike. Very good experience.

  • 5/5 Janniel M. 3 years ago on Google
    This is an amazing cultural tour experience that takes visitors to the hills of the cockpit country in Trelawny. The tour is amazing and highlights some major parts of Jamaican history and the food is awesome and well presented. The sights go see and parts of history to learn will definitely blow the minds of an allocentric tourist. The grounds are well kept and the owners are very welcoming the staff is kind and helpful. They have showers and restroom areas that are clean. And a very nice cool surprise awaits.
